Clothes Sharing

Does anyone have size 12 or 14 clothes they are using anymore? I have a lot of size 16 that are falling off and I need more 12 and 14 but buying clothes is getting really expensive! So I was just trying to see if anyone wanted to share! :thumbup: send me a private message if you have anything!

I'm in the same boat. My 16s are hanging off of me. But I think I'll wait until I'm a definite 12, before I buy some new clothes.

I am going to thrift stores a lot more. Until I am at goal this seems to be the best way. You can get some really nice things at thrift stores. Sometimes you get brand new stuff with the tags still on.12_3_125.gif 12_3_120.gif

When I find a sale(Dillards) on jeans, I buy in reg size(12) and pair in next size down(10). Last month bought end of summer jeans on sale at Ds for $11.77 each. I must stop by weekly for sales as I like good clothes(fit better) but hate to pay full price.

It has been a struggle to stay stylish w/out spending a bundle shrinking. It seems to take some time. When I was 14/16 went straight to Avenue, hope those days are gone 4ever 4 every one here!!

We always take our clothes to our support group and share our clothes that way. Everyone brings their stuff in.

Do you go to a support group through your doctor's office?

I am buying a lot on ebay, especially jeans. I have even been looking for smaller sizes and buying them because I know I will need them soon. Most of my clothes are really big too, especially my scrubs. But I am going to wait until I lose some more before I buy new scrubs. I tend to wear everything until it is falling to the floor!

I've bought a lot of stuff at Goodwill. I've found some things in there that were brand new. Plus the clearance sales are great.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
